BARRETT It is easy to theorize concerning international peace. But one cannot satfgt sje--- ' : rious(a problem with mere theory. Many plana have been suggested by many people. The test of experience has found these theories all lacking in the $1.75 peace on the earth. qualitypow-of permanent er for peace. The three outstanding efforts been, first, Preparedness which argues that an adequate army and navy will prevent an attack. Preparedness, the philosopher of fear, always breeds suspicion. Competitive armaments are bound to result in some sort of an explosion. History has proved it so. Second, Organized Public Opinion, which would build a wall about its own subjects and thus keep the enemy out. This theory is symbolic of the Great Wall of China: and mental barriers are no stronger than material barriers. Public opinion dare not imprison itself in an area of selfish thinking and expect to have universal appeal. The question, Does public opinion honestly and sincerely want universal peace? still remains unanswered. Third, The League of Nations organized in 1920 which is primarily a court of arbitration. The spirit of war must arise before the League can adjudicate the point in dispute. The League has done a great amount of hut it haa failed to establish have The . 1.00 . 2.00 failures basis alone. Realization of this fact has given which should and a forces me to choose, I will be a Christian. This is a negative pacifism from which we gain no constructive result. Simply refusing to fight does not create peace. In England, Ramsay McDonald expressed a more hopeful aspect by saying: We have paid too little attention to the tigrine impulses in human nature. If we think we are going to best the things which culminate in war without a spiritual fight, we are foredoomed to failure. A spiritual fight! And there can be no spiritual figlit without sacrifice. War costs. We pay enormous sums of money in warfare. Peace also costs. Men die in the cause of war; men must die also for peace. What this sacrifice is to be no one has yet determined. But we venture the question: Would the surrender of a nation's national ideal in behalf of armed defense or balance of power be too great a price to pay, if by such a sacrifice the conscience of the world could find its final inspiration and its victorious appeal for peace? Must it not be by way of the Cross rather than by way of the sword? The banner of the Cross must be lifted alongside of the Stars and Stripes. War must be crucified on the Cross of rise to that form of pacifism is expressed as follows: I like to be both a Christian patriot; but if my country . Peace. The way of war leads to darkness and destruction: the Way of the Cross leads to light and life. In atilt-neand In storm, blessed is that nation in whose life Is the Cross of Peace and In whose government abides the principle of sacrifice. ss FINEST QUALITY IN THE CITY and 15 BUTTONS RECOinuITION Your Furniture AT THE 5-10- -25c STORE O 1069 East 21st South ' mid-Pacifi- c, June 8.

Hes probably in his late forties but his heart is that of a boy. Ilis name is Floyd Starr. When he was a baby of three, he heard his family discussing a man who had adopted a lot of children, John Harvey Kellogg. Having learned, through a question, what "adopted meant, the baby announced that when he grew up he would adopt a lot of children. The remark caused a laugh. When Starr was graduated from Albion college and the question of his career arose, he repeated that he intended to adopt a lot of children. There was another laugh. But he meant it. With his savings and a family inheritance he purchased a farm near Albion. The farm became the Starr Commonwealth for Boys. 640-ac- re Boys "who nobody wants go to the Starr Commonwealth.

There are only two tiny islands from which satisfactory observations of the eclipse can be made, in the entire path of the eclipse, which extends for 5,000 miles across the Pacific ocean. The expedition will use one of these two islands. The eclipse will be visible from the mainland of Peru about sunset, but the sun then will be too low in the sky to permit satisfactory observations. This will be the longest eclipse of the sun visible from the earth in 1,200 years, having a maximum duration of totality of 7 minutes and 4 seconds. This eclipse also will end the day before it starts. Its path will cross the international so date line in the that it will begin on June 9, but tiny-cora- l of these three theories suggest the thought that peace is basically neither an economic, nor a social nor even an ethical problem.
